After Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens finished a pro-am round Thursday at the Deutsche Bank Championship with team owner Steve Pagliuca and president of basketball operations Danny Ainge, he provided an injury update on point guard Rajon Rondo.

Though president of basketball operations Danny Ainge maintained the last time he spoke publicly that Rondo expects to come back from ACL surgery by opening night, teammates have sounded skeptical about that possibility. Avery Bradley admitted Tuesday that he isn't sure what position he'll play to begin the season -- hinting that Rondo's injury could potentially force him into point guard duties -- and Sullinger remarked last week,"(Rondo's) back working out again and hopefully he'll be back by December."

More on Rondo from Stevens follows, courtesy of the Boston Herald's Tom Layman:

#Stevens on Rondo:"I have never heard a timeline from him & the latest that I’ve heard from our medical staff is that he’s progressing well"

Stevens also said that Sullinger, Kelly Olynyk, MarShon Brooks, Phil Pressey, Vitor Faverani and Avery Bradley were at the team's Waltham practice facility Thursday, and that Jeff Green has been around at times.

Faverani remains a bit of a mystery man since he played in Spain last season, but the center's new coach sounds fond of him already.

#Stevens on #Faverani: "I like Vitor. I think he’s a hard worker. I think he’s a diligent person. He cares about his job and I like him."
